Breakout of Red Dots On The Face After Vomiting

Since young, Alycia’s face will be speckled with tiny red dots whenever she throws up. But with the latest vomiting last week, I had to break out laughing after she threw up because my daughter with immaculate skin as white as snow, turned into a cute freckled face girl! Brown freckles to be exact. I notice that the post-vomiting outbreak of red dots on the face is more visible on those with fair skin. I am one who will have it too. During my pregnancy with Alycia where I had severe morning sickness and vomiting, the veins in my eyes turned bloody after severe vomiting for a few weeks. The thought of going through another pregnancy makes me shudder… though I love babies.

My little Snow White with a freckled face.  The freckles look red here (because of her rosy cheeks) but actually, they were all brown.  She looked exactly like a brown freckled face 8-year old for about 4 -5 days!

    Looks a bit like petechiaea…caused by local bursting of the fine capillaries on the surface from increased intrathoracic pressure from vomitting/ cough/ choking. I know some people panic with the appearance but good thing you didn’t!
